Double check to see if all the sensors and vacuum lines are plugged in.
The oil filter gasket is a rubber ring that is usually bonded to the oil filter. If the oil filter has been removed and has no gasket, then it has become stuck to the engine block. Remove the gasket from the block before installing a new oil filter with it's own new gasket. Be sure to spread a little clean engine oil on the rubber gasket before installation to help seal and prevent sticking to the block. Do not overtighten the filter, turn the filter until the gasket contacts the block and then tighten 1/4 turn more. If the gasket leaks, tighten just enough to stop the leak.
My 1997 318i has an external oil leak from the head gasket, I was quoted $1200.00 to $1400.00 if I also have to get the valves done. A little under $1000.00 if not.
The gasket suface problably was not clean enough and or did you use sealant? Sometimes the thermostat does not sit in the housing properly, since the housung is bolted to the head on its side, good chace the thermostat slid a little bit..
My '01 Focus just blew its head gasket. The mechanic quoted me at $1200. At ford Dealer ship? Yea have fun spending that kind of money. The gasket itself you can pick up for 30$ max. Find someone who knows even a little about a car, and they will prolly do it for 50$ and a six pack of beer. My friends have replaced a head gasket on a civic and its really easy if u know what your doing.
A blown head gasket on a 94 Ford Crown Vic is fixed by removing the cylinder head, cleaning the gasket surface, and installing a new gasket. The head gasket is extremely important as it prevents oil and water from mixing and contains the vehicle's combustion.
if you are going to replace the intake gasket you might as well change the head gaskets at the same time[it will cost you a little now but save you a lot later
If it backfires while you are driving, the intake manifold bolts may be loose or the gasket may need to be replaced. If it backfires when you turn off the ignition, the fuel mixture is a little on the rich side.
leaking gasket try tightening the bolts a little might help
"Manifold gasket" ? whick one? Upper intake MG,Lower intake MG or exhaust MG? I thinks you mean intake MG. The Upper intake MG is easy on. Just undo the bolt and clear the gasket materal, then replace new upper intake MG. The lower intake MG is a little bit hard. Carefully clear the old gasket material on the manifold and head, clear the bolt nad bolt hole in the head, then carfully install the lower intake MGand double check the coolant passage in ordeer to void the coolant leading. The last step is to torque corectly the bolt. good luck.
sounds like intake gasket did mine last year be sure to use little lock tight and torque to older 70s spec had no problems yet
Depends on where you live, who performs the repair, dealer or independant, and if the head is warped or cracked. The head gasket will for sure have to be replaced and then the problem that caused the head gasket to blow solved. It can cost as little as $800 to as much as $3,000.
Top front near center of engine,a bit on the driver's side, partly under the intake manifold. only sensor in the area(wires connected to it) It CAN be removed and replaced without removing intake manifold. (a little filing and a little forcing)
Well you might need to provide a little more information. A car with a slow seep in the valve cover gasket ( Common with older cars ) Will generally run just fine, but it is best to get it replaced to prevent oil burning on the engine. A blown HEAD gasket however is a completely different story. Please add details for extended info.
they are under the intake manifold there are two of them change them both at the same time but before you do clean out all the crud that's in there and use a little silicone to seal it against the dirt and water that cause the code to show up ..you will also need a new intake gasket
I did an intake gasket on a 2004 astro awd 4 month ago. It not that hard but you got to remove everything around of the engine compartment. It took me maybe 5 hours. U got to be a little flex to work with it . GOod luck
not true. parts geek has it for $60 w shipping. take a little work to extract old tube is all.
No, but there's a permanent fix. The white smoke means you have coolant getting into the exhaust. Which means you've probably got either a leaking head gasket or a leaking intake manifold gasket. Replace them, and that'll solve the problem, as well as increase the longetivity of your engine.
